Band of tissue connecting bones or cartilage (8)

I believe the answer is:

ligament

(Other definitions for ligament that I've seen before include "Tough, bone-linking tissue" , "What may get torn" , "Tough band in joint" , "Tough fibrous tissue in the body" , "Fibrous connective tissue" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
